Chapter 604 Visiting Villagers
This is also what everyone is most concerned about. They can’t afford it if it is too expensive.
Zhou Guo said: "One hundred and eighty coins per stone, which can be converted into grain when the time comes."
One hundred and eighty wen per stone?
Everyone thought it was a bit expensive, "Can't it be a little less?"
Zhou Guo shook his head. "This is the lowest price I can offer. If it's any lower, I'll have to pay for it. I can't sell something at a loss, right? Then why am I selling this thing?"
Everyone thought about it and felt that it was acceptable. The key was that it didn't cost any money. After the autumn harvest, it could be used to pay for it with grain, so it seemed like nothing was spent.
The thin old man nodded and said, "Okay, we will go to Cangshan Village tomorrow to have a look. Which family are you from?"
Zhou Guo said, "This is my eldest brother, Zhou Gu, from the Zhou family at the end of the village. My name is Zhou Guo. You can ask anyone after you enter the village and they will tell you."
As he spoke, he lifted up the half sack of fertilizer and said, "It's not much fertilizer anyway, so I'll keep it for you. You can take a good look at it."
Zhou Gu looked around and saw an empty basket nearby, so he picked it up.
Zhou Guo poured half a bag of fertilizer into the basket.
Although she only brought out two and a half sacks, this was the first village they had visited and the negotiation went quite smoothly, so it was okay to leave this little bit of fat for them.
It filled half a basket.
The thin old man was very happy because it was his basket. Once the fat was poured into his basket, it would be his.
After saying goodbye to these people, the two continued on their way forward.
It only took about an incense stick of time to reach the second village.
This village was much bigger than the previous one, and the land was flat. Smoke was rising from the roofs of every household, and the people working in the fields had almost returned one after another.
Zhou Gu whipped the side of the cart next to him, and the ox cart went towards the village with a rumbling sound.
Zhou Guo sat in the back, hammering the hammer again and again, shouting after each hammering: "Selling fertilizer, selling fertilizer, top-quality fertilizer, applying it to grain will increase grain production, turning inferior land into superior land, so that the whole family will have enough to eat and even have surplus food. We will live a good life! Selling fertilizer, selling fertilizer! Top-quality farm fertilizer!"
Zhou Gu couldn't help but ask, "What is farmyard manure?"
Zhou Guo paused and said, "It's the fertilizer from our farm, the fertilizer fermented by the farmers themselves. Sell the fertilizer, sell the fertilizer, it's the fertilizer that makes people live a good life! The best fertilizer!"
They shouted from the village head to the center, with the gong and the voice, the noise was so loud that everyone in the village could hear it.
The people in the room poked their heads out.
The children followed the two men's ox cart and shouted, "Fat for sale, fat for sale, the best fat."
Zhou Guo curled his lips and took out a handful of candy from his bag...
After a while, the voices of children from all over the village were heard, "Li Er Niang, there are two people selling fertilizer in the village. What kind of fertilizer? The fertilizer from the fields is selling very well. Go and have a look."
"Uncle, uncle, someone from the village is here to sell fat!"
The children shouted farther and farther away, and all the people living in the corners of the village went there.
Zhou Guo sat on the ox cart with his legs crossed, took two pieces of dried meat from the basket, gave one to Zhou Gu, and the two of them sat on the ox cart and ate the dried meat.
After a while, some people came, and then more and more people came.
There is usually nothing lively in the countryside all year round, but now there is something lively. I have to come and see what is going on even though I have not cooked.
"Hey, young man, where are you two from? What are you doing in our village?"
The two jumped out of the car.
Zhou Guo patted his clothes and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm from Cangshan Village. I came to your village to sell fertilizer. There are people in our village selling fertilizer, the best farm fertilizer. If any of you don't have enough fertilizer, you can go and buy some. With more fertilizer, the crops in the fields can be harvested more."
"Buy fertilizer? Oh my, there is really everything for sale these days. Some people actually sell fertilizer. They don't have any land of their own? They want to sell the fertilizer to others? If they sell it to others, what will happen to their own land?"
"Yes, I have lived for most of my life, and I have only heard of people collecting night incense in the city, but I have never heard of anyone selling fertilizer. What kind of fertilizer is it? Show us."
Everyone is very curious, mainly because Cangshan Village has become rich in the past two years and is a famous rich village.
Which girl from all over the country doesn't want to marry there, and which family doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law from Cangshan Village?
Seeing Zhou Guo's two boys, they were naturally smiling. If they could get to know them, their daughter might have a place to stay. Her daughter would have a good life after getting married, and they would also be able to get a lot of credit from them. Just the fact that their in-laws were from Cangshan Village was enough to make them hold their heads up high in the village.
Zhou Guo opened half a sack of fertilizer and handed it to them, "That's it, take a look for yourself."
Many people didn't want to see Fei, and pointed at Zhou Gu beside her and said, "Who is this boy to you? Have you promised to get married?"
But there were also many elderly people who were interested and opened the sacks to take out the fat inside and look at it carefully.
Zhou Guo turned around and saw Zhou Gu standing upright, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had a dignified appearance and looked in good spirits. It seemed that he could afford to eat at home.
He smiled and said, "Not yet. Now is the time to talk about marriage. If any of you aunts have a suitable one, can you introduce me to one?"
When they heard that they hadn't gotten married yet, everyone was overjoyed.
Even the women at the back came over and said, "I, I, I, I have a daughter at home, she is just sixteen years old this year, she is diligent and quick, she can do everything, she can do the work of two people."
When Zhou Guo first heard this, she felt that the condition sounded particularly familiar, and then she thought, isn't this her mother?
"There's also my daughter. Although she's not that capable, she's pretty and lively. She's the most popular girl in the area. She's only fourteen years old. Haha, although she's a little young, we can get engaged first, don't you think?"
Some people even squeezed towards Zou Gu and asked him clearly, "Brother, what's your name? What kind of girl do you like? Pretty or capable, I have both!"
Zhou Gu, a young man, was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. How could he make the decision in this matter?
Seeing him embarrassed, Zhou Guo hurriedly said loudly, "Aunts, listen to me, we still have elders in our family. It is not my eldest brother's turn to decide on this marriage. If you are interested, please ask a matchmaker to come and connect the two families. Let them see each other for themselves. This is the proper way. It's useless for you to talk to us now."
Yes, even if the women calm down, the two children cannot make the decision.
The old people finally finished watching.
Zhou Guo asked: "Grandpa, how is it, is it fat?"
The old people nodded. "It's really fat. Did it ferment by itself? There's a lot of it?"
Zhou Guo said: "It has just started to ferment. Although there is some, there is not much left after the villages have divided it. If you want it, get it soon. Once this batch is sold out, you will have to wait a month and a half for the next batch."
"So how do you sell this fat?"
